Was going for ten sets, but on 9th set, i barely got first rep…So i went down for second rep, because Pain does not exist in the dojo
*At this point i did not make the rep and sat at bottom pondering dumping the weight as i couldnt see the safety bars( the SSB punishes you for not having an upright back, so i was not about to look down).
I decided to ride the bitch down, so i got to practice neck strength as i let the bar try to break my neck on the way down. It was a pleasant diversion*
Next time, i will set safeties in correct position
Immediately after, i took my protein and went for a twenty minute fast paced walk

Great that you started.
Couple things to work on
1- Be consistent. Try to log every day. Even on non workout days. This will build good habits you can use going forward.
2- Start logging macros of food you eat. This will go a long way in seeing trend.
Are you using apps like chronometer or myfitnesspal? If not they are great tools.
Below is how I do my log daily for the food piece. For the most part I eat the same things daily so it’s pretty much copy/paste but it’s easy to make changes. Doing it this way gives us a quick snapshot. If the info is not easily seen it’s really hard to get a sense of whats going on.

Ok. I have edited first post to include macros. Looks like an even split, which probably isnt great

Better than most. At least your getting enough protien in. Good start.
Just keep being consistent with the log. Once we see your habits for few weeks we can help dial things in toward your goals.

This isn’t a critique, but more a curiosity: with the amount of sandwiches you consume, how many loaves of bread do you purchase/make per week?
Welll. I dont usually eat sandwiches. My wife alerted me to the fact that she bought deli meat for me and i hadnt eaten it. So here we are

I like putting it in omeletes. Or the old fashioned cheese and pickle roll ups, haha.

Why not 1 huge sandwich(2 slices of bread) and then eat the rest of the meat on it’s own? Small “clean ups” like this can go a long way.

I am only on day three of this diet, and I feel like a starving ethiopian. I have begun staring at the limbs of small children hungrily.
I just caught a lizard and ate it whole.
My senses are heightened. i feel like I soon will be able to see in the dark

I assure you this isnt a purposeful cut diet. I either have the stomach flu or food poisoning. Shortly after lunch, stomach hurt and then i crashed at like four pm freezing. Then woke up at 9pm burning up and threw up and diarrhea.
May have to skip morning workout, which will really piss me off
